Lock Baker's Steel Butterfly

Lock Baker is well known for his wildly original eye-catching motorcycles. This machine may be the least over the top in comparison to Lock's other creations, but it's still miles from boring. Lock has owned the bike for quite a while and it's been through several incarnations until it evolved into what you see here. Peruse the details and note the vast amount of cast items: tailight, foot controls, front hub, etc. These bits, each one a small work of art, really put E-Fab's motorcycles ahead of the pack.

This bike has been through many incarnations. It was originally a 1978 superglide. Next it became the "rusty buzzard" (old efab bike), then a rat bike in japanese style, and now this. This is my personal bike. I know everything about it and have perfected it to the point where im not sure if it can be improved on without completely starting over again. I runs great, has the right amount of power for its application, and is comfortable for me. It is 100% predictable after owning it for so long. The paint was done by Robert Pradke, who did an outstanding job.

That manual Retard/advance lever on the mag is the Shit!I can appreciate all of the Eastern Fabrication bikes and Locks attention to detail, but most of the bikes are a little too over the top for my personal tastes, but this bike is an awesome example of cool shit, done to the limit, without going over......love the foot pegs too....details, it's in the details

That kickstand is O.K. His new ones are way sicker, it won't break and it's milled from billet stainless. The price isn't bad either considering it's half that of a Matt Hotch (or is it Hot Match)and it actually does something.

This was by far one of the coolest bikes I saw in Daytona. My buddies and I spent a long time poring over the details of it after he pulled into Willie's parking lot late one night. So much hand made radness.Lock and Heyltje are hella nice folks too!
